I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to particular on UI, I can use whatever.

    I’m running Endeavour right now o a desktop, bit mostly for the simplified install. After trying one of the GTK desktops for a few minutes, I realized I hate anything that isn’t a tiling WM. I was pretty sure, though, that I saw a GUI tool for updating and installing software, but I’ve gotten a lot of replies saying EndeavourOS is still heavily terminal dependent. So, there that is.

    I think you were mainly addressing OP and not me, though.
